Farrar Hailed Super Volunteer
" P e o p l e !
That's what
m a k e s my
volunteer work
so great," says
Pat Farrar.
9 Pat Farrar
truly enjoys
working with
people and,
evidently, the feeling is mutual. Accord-ing
to Mrs. Boggs Creamer, volunteer
director at LSU Hospital, "everybody
Loves Pat!"
Super volunteer Pat Farrar is one of
ihe many outstanding volunteers work-ing
at the LSU Medical Center. Pat is
the secretary of the Volunteer Services
offices three days
a week and is Mrs.
Creamer's "right
hand." Since there
is not a paid
secretary in the
office for the 300
or more volun-teers
working in
72 different areas
of the hospital, the
paper wor,k does
get stacked up. On
Monday, Wednes-day
and Friday,
Pat dives in and
gets it back in or-der.
Mrs. Creamer says Pat is in-despensible.
When asked what had launched her
Pat Farrar
secretarial career in the volunteer of-fice,
Pat laughed and said, "Weight-
Watchers! My teacher, Mrs. Barry
Glassell, said that a change in at-mosphere
would help change eating
patterns and help 'keep your fingers out
of the goodies.' " Pat started working
only one day a week, but soon expanded
her service to three days. The trim Pat
is walking proof that Mrs. Glassell was
right.
"Would I recommend volunteer work
to others? You bet! It has expanded my
mind and given me a great deal of
satisfaction, and it beats talking about
my kids and their problems — constant-ly."
said Pat.
"I would also recommend LSU Med
Center," she added, "because you can
have 'people contact' without 'patient
contact,' if you wish. You can choose."
"During National Volunteer Week, the
Caddo-Bossier Volunteer Services
Bureau is proud to salute Pat Farrar as
an outstanding volunteer," said Pat
Gobble, director of the bureau.
Personal growth such as Pat has
experienced is just one benefit that
volunteer work offers, according to
Gobble.
Persons interested in finding out they
can become involved with volunteer
work may call the Volunteer Bureau at
865-4819. There are 80 agencies in the
Caddo-Bossier area where volunteers
work in a variety of jobs. The volunteer
may request specific types of work and
designate the number of hours he or she
can donate.
